Let’s go through this step by step.

The worksheet is called “Our Trip to the Zoo.”
It has 10 pictures, each with a word written underneath it.
The directions say:
> Write the word below each picture. Then color each picture that you remember seeing at the zoo.

But look — the words are already written under each picture!
So the first part (“Write the word below each picture”) is already done for us.

That means our job is just to do the second part:
→ Color each picture that you remember seeing at the zoo.

Now, since this is a pretend trip (or maybe based on what kids usually see at zoos), we can assume all these animals and things are commonly seen at a zoo:

- Giraffe ✔
- Zebra ✔
- Rhino ✔
- Elephant ✔
- Trees ✔ (zoos have trees!)
- Zoo keeper ✔ (you might see them)
- Lion ✔
- Bird ✔ (many zoos have birds)
- Tiger ✔
- Monkey ✔

All of these are typical zoo sights. So if you were coloring every animal or thing you’d expect to see at a zoo, you would color ALL of them.

BUT — wait! The instruction says: “color each picture that you remember seeing at the zoo.”

Since this is a worksheet and not a real memory test, and no specific trip was described, we should assume that the student is supposed to color ALL the pictures — because they’re all common zoo items.

Also, looking at the image, some pictures are already colored in (like giraffe, lion, bird, tiger, monkey, trees). That might be an example — but the task doesn’t say “only color the ones that are uncolored.” It says “color each picture that you remember seeing.”

So again — unless told otherwise, we color all.

Final decision: Since all 10 items are commonly found at a zoo, and there’s no reason to exclude any, the correct action is to color all 10 pictures.

Final Answer:
Color all 10 pictures: giraffe, zebra, rhino, elephant, trees, zoo keeper, lion, bird, tiger, monkey.
